Formula 1: Why 2016 could be Mercedes' undoing
By Andrew Benson
Chief F1 writer

 
The excesses of Christmas and New Year may still be fresh in the mind, but the new Formula 1 season is closer than you might think.
 
It is just 76 days until the lights go out in Melbourne's Albert Park for the start of the Australian Grand Prix and behind the scenes in factories across Europe the 22 cars from 11 teams that will contest the season are already coming together.
 
As the clock ticks down to the start of the shortest period of pre-season testing in F1 history - just eight on-track days in Spain starting on 22 February - we look at the five key issues that could shape the 2016 grand prix season.
 
Can Mercedes handle driver rivalry?
 
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has clearly spent his Christmas break pondering how to handle the rivalry between his drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, in 2016.
 
The tensions between the two were largely buried through last year as Hamilton cruised to the title, but they re-emerged in the final six races as Rosberg finally found his form.
 
This may well have been caused by Hamilton easing off having tied up the title with three races to go. But if the German can continue the performance that led to a run of six poles and three wins with which he ended the season, the fight could be much closer in 2016.
 
The likelihood of Mercedes remaining the team to beat has left Wolff pondering his duty to the wider sport and he has raised the possibility of letting the drivers race more freely in 2016.
 
"I want the dominance to continue but if it were to continue like this I need to think what we do so we do not become the enemy," Wolff told the Mail on Sunday in an interview over the Christmas period.
 
"Maybe it's about unleashing them completely. Give them their own strategy."
 
Hamilton and Rosberg have been allowed to compete on track for the last two years, but within specific guidelines operated by the team.
Key among these has been that the lead driver always gets first choice on pit-stop timing.
 
This is to prevent the driver behind gaining what has been deemed an unfair advantage by stropping first and using the extra grip of new tyres to take the lead.
 
But it reduces the possibility of the two swapping positions and restricts racing to on the track, where passing is difficult between two evenly matched cars.
 
Wolff's suggestion - which is only an idea for now - would undoubtedly make life more entertaining for those watching. But it would effectively force the two drivers' engineering teams to work in opposition to each other.
 
And it would increase the risk of one of the drivers being beaten by a rival from another team as it could risk them ending up on an unfavourable strategy.
 
The background to this is that Wolff has said he will consider changing his driver line-up if the disharmony between the drivers starts to affect the team. And that remark is made in the context of Rosberg's contract being up for renewal at the end of the season.
 
For everyone at Mercedes, there could be quite a tightrope to walk in 2016.

Will the Ferrari revival continue?

Ferrari were a team to a large extent re-born in 2015, the pain of a winless 2014 behind them and three excellent victories by Sebastian Vettel raising optimism for the future.

But can they keep it up?

Last year's progress was based on a very specific issue. The new hybrid engine had a design flaw in 2014 - its energy recovery system was under-par - and Ferrari rectified it for 2015.

But, despite being not far off engine parity with Mercedes, they remained on average 0.6 seconds a lap slower than the champions in qualifying.
 
In Formula 1, that's an awfully large gap to close in one winter.
 
The 2016 car will be the first to be produced fully by the re-shaped team under highly regarded technical director James Allison, following a Ferrari staff cull at the end of the aforementioned disastrous 2014.
 
Its performance relative to Mercedes will be a good indication of whether the Italian team really are on the road back to success. Plus the comparison between the Ferrari chassis and that produced by Red Bull with be an interesting comparison, despite the fact their engine will likely not allow them to compete at the front.

Can McLaren avoid another horrifying year?

Fernando Alonso left Ferrari for McLaren-Honda at the end of 2014 because he felt the English team would provide him a quicker route to a third drivers' title than Maranello, where he had suffered five years of disappointments.

It did not look that way in 2015, as McLaren laboured at the back of the grid largely as a result of the dire performance and reliability of the Honda engine in the Japanese company's first year back in the sport.

But, like Ferrari in 2014, there was a very specific reason for Honda's lack of performance.

As Red Bull technical chief Adrian Newey has pointed out, the internal combustion engine part of the Honda engine was actually pretty decent - not a Mercedes beater, but not a million miles off. The problem was the hybrid aspect, particularly energy recovery from the turbo.
 
Honda were well aware of this and had by last summer laid specific plans to resolve the issue.
 
McLaren could, then - at least in theory - make the 2.5-second a lap leap in performance that Alonso was saying was possible in the last three or four races of last year.
 
But what if they don't?
 
Honda insists the new engine will be ready for the start of the season, but what happens if it is still catastrophically off the pace?
 
Alonso and team-mate Jenson Button generally kept their emotions in check in 2015, their frustration only occasionally bubbling to the surface.
 
But, if it continues into 2016, it is hard to imagine Alonso resigning himself to it and laughing it off in the way he did with his now-famous 'deckchair moment' in qualifying in Brazil last November.
 
One of the sport's greatest talents is 35 this summer. He may have a contract until the end of 2017, but time is running out for him to win the extra championship his status in the sport merits, and which he craves. If Honda and McLaren don't dramatically up their game, there could be trouble in store.

Difficult second year syndrome

Toro Rosso drivers Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz were two of the stars of 2015.

Verstappen caught the eye with a series of brave, aggressive and brilliantly improvisational overtaking manoeuvres - and put himself on the radar of Mercedes and Ferrari - but Sainz was in his own way equally impressive.

Just as the fact that Button beat Alonso in the championship in 2015 was not reflective of the Spaniard's general superiority in races, so the 31-point gap between Verstappen and Sainz was not a fair representation of the relative performance of the Toro Rosso drivers.

Sainz had the worse of the reliability at the team and actually out-qualified Verstappen 10-9 over the season.
 
While the teenaged Verstappen grabbed all the headlines, Sainz's more measured approach also won its admirers. And there were times when the son of the eponymous rally legend made the Dutchman look ordinary - notably in the wet in Japan and the USA.


Both men appear to have bright futures, but to get to them they have to navigate a second season that always tends to be more difficult than a driver's first.


In a driver's debut year, expectations are low and everything tends to be new, shiny and wonderful.


But just as the demands of an F1 season become more mundane - and therefore more difficult to deal with - expectations and pressures rise and drivers can find themselves struggling.


It will be fascinating to see how Verstappen and Sainz deal with this - especially as they are, in a very real and immediate way, driving for their careers.


Ruthless Red Bull tends to give its drivers two seasons in Toro Rosso before deciding whether to promote them or dump them. Can they both survive?

Will politics overshadow the racing again?
Last season was an especially bad-tempered one off-track, with political arguments - many of them revolving around engines - poisoning the atmosphere in the paddock and between the sport's heavy-hitters.


And the new year starts with two important deadlines.


On 18 January, the engine manufacturers will deliver to the strategy group of the sport's bosses their proposals for making power-units cheaper, simpler, noisier and more freely available.


And 31 January is the date governing body the FIA set for its president Jean Todt and F1 commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone to come up with proposals to solve pressing issues - specifically on governance, power units and cost reduction.

 

The two dates are inter-related. If what the engine manufacturers propose does not meet with the satisfaction of Todt and Ecclestone, they may seek to act under a "mandate" given to them by the FIA to make changes.

 

But Ferrari have already said the FIA has no right to grant them that power - and made threatening noises about it.

 

Red Bull's engine crisis is partly the cause of all this, even if it was self-inflicted last year. But that story will rumble on - the former champions, who are close to Ecclestone, have a stop-gap solution with a re-badged Renault in 2016 but no supply sorted for 2017.

 

Add in a potential European Union investigation into the governance and prize-money structures of F1, and there is a severe danger politics will overshadow the racing again.

Missim, ne znam šta da kažem, ovde piše da me košta 346 ojrića, ali ja plaćam godišnje 460 EUR (38ojrića mesečno) 200bit internet, fixni telefon (60min mesečno free of charge) i +120 TV kanala including HBO i AutoMotorUndSport TV. E da, još je u tim parama i iznajmljivanje modema i dve CA modul karte za dva televizora. Sad sam se setio da bih mogao i da ih otkupim...

 

U celom tom paketu imam i kanale Sport1 i Sport2 (inače madjarsa TV stanica) na kojoj ide live F1 weekend.

 

Pa da ga yebem, kad bih to sve preračunao na minutažu i ostale usluge koje dobijam od lopovskog i monopolnog operatora UPC, i tako mi to dodje džabe.

Kod mene je fora u tome da bih dobio taj kanal TSN koji prenosi (ili daje odlozeni snimak) F1 ja moram da uzmem ceo sport paket - koji zapravo i ne gledam osim F1, jer konstantno prenose NFL/NHL/MLB sto me apsolutno ne zanima. A kablovski operater tokom F1 prenosa blokira sva alternativna resenja (americki NBCSN, koji prenosi i Indikar).

 

Pri cemu je i taj prenos/snimak F1 koji dobijam falican, jer je ustvari BBCjev prenos ali naknadno secen reklamama, onako u pola recenice komentatora. A posto njihovi komentatori nisu svesni toga, onda informacije koje kazu tokom bloka reklama vise ne ponove i one su za gledaoca jednostavno izgubljene, sto nije malo jer ako je neko pratio Indikar prenose sa strimova koje sam kacio onda imate ideju o kolicini reklama koje idu u prenos. Ameri barem to uzmu u obzir pa ako se desilo nesto vazno pokazu reprizu i prokomentarisu.

 

Zato ja vec godinama F1 ustvari pratim preko strimova, od TV prenosa sam digao ruke. Odjavio sam sportski paket sa kablovske, ko jebe Bernija.

Nego, znas sta je najbolje u celoj prici? Pa to da zbog mene i ovakvih kao ja padaju cifre gledanosti F1 u zvanicnim statistikama, pa se onda u F1 gicaju da "poprave sou". Umesto samo da ucine pracenje F1 pristupacnije, tojest po odgovoarajucoj ceni za ono sto isporucuju. Za djubre koje meni pokusavaju da uvale ne vredi placati (jesam li vec napomenuo da HD prenos ne postoji??? postojao je do pre 2-3 godine, kad su to ukinuli i ja sam ukinuo kablovski sport paket), ako bi mi obezbedili nesto poput SkyF1 kanala koji bi bio posvecen 24/7 trkanju, uz prenose svih zvanicnih F1 sesija i u HD onda bih vec bio otvoreniji za ideju da platim. Koliko tacno - ne znam, ali sigurno znam da za ovo sto mi nude nisam voljan nista da platim.

Strategy Group’s grand plans for 2017 in tatters
2016 F1 seasonPosted on 12th January 2016, 12:08
Author Keith Collantine
 

Mid-May in 2015: Mercedes have just completed a predictable rout of the opposition in Spain, three-quarters of a minute ahead of their closest rival.

Five races in and it’s clear this championship will be just as uncompetitive as the previous one. Within Formula One a hue and cry goes up for something to be done to inject more action into the competition.

Riding to the rescue comes F1’s Strategy Group. Bernie Ecclestone’s group of F1’s wealthiest teams plus representatives from Formula One Management and the FIA announce they will reinvigorate the racing by making the cars faster, louder, sexier and handing the teams much greater strategic freedom.

It made for a nice press release but eight months later it’s clear it wasn’t worth the paper it was written on. Every significant pledge made has since been watered down or abandoned entirely.

Free tyre choice in 2016

Drivers won’t be free to choose any tyre compound

While most of the Strategy Group’s plans concentrated on the 2017 season, it had one major change in mind for the coming championship:

Free choice of the two dry tyre compounds (out of four) that each team can use during the race weekend

After much debate and following considerable opposition from Pirelli a far more restrictive implementation of the idea was eventually agreed. While the total number of compounds has gone up to five, only three will be available to teams each weekend.

Furthermore drivers can be told which two compounds they must use during the race. In one restrict the new rules are more restrictive than they were before – drivers are now being given a mandatory tyre compounds for Q3 as well.

Unsurprisingly drivers and engineers have already commented that the new rule will make little difference, and whatever new strategic avenues it may open will be quickly sussed by the teams.

Refuelling in 2017

95U3704-470x313.jpg
Refuelling is not making a comeback

One of the Strategy Group’s promises for 2017 never came close to getting off the ground:

Reintroduction of refuelling (maintaining a maximum race fuel allowance)

Refuelling was dropped just six years ago on grounds of costs. That case against it is arguably even more pressing now than it was then, making it hard to imagine how its return would see the light of day.

Moreover, the very fact the current generation of engines consume much less fuel than the V8s and V10s did reduces the potential gain from refuelling as a means of improving performance. Consequently there was little expectation it would make a great difference to strategies.

Most F1 Fanatic readers were against it, so perhaps there will be little disappointment the idea gained no traction.

Lower lap times

05SanMA15-470x311.jpg
Don’t expect a return to 2005 performance levels

The most eye-catching part of the Strategy Group’s announcement was the goal of making F1 cars almost as fast as they were during the record-setting V10 era.

Faster cars: five to six seconds drop in lap times through aerodynamic rules evolution, wider tyres and reduction of car weight

A reduction in car weight would have reversed a trend which has seen F1 car weights rise by over 100 kilogrammes in less than a decade – an increase of more than 17%. However most of this increase has come from the new power units, the weights of which are also set in the rules, and as yet there is no indication these will be revised.

Designs have emerged for a wider new generation of F1 cars featuring some very tightly-prescribed aerodynamic enhancements. But the chances of them seeing the light of day took a dive when Pirelli told the teams their tyres could not withstand the expected rise in downforce without a corresponding increase in tyre pressures which would eras much of the lap time gain.

FOM faces must have turned a shade of ultra-soft purple when it learned the tyre supplier which lavished praise on last year and awarded a new three-year contract was now swinging a wrecking ball into what remained of its plans to make F1 more exciting.

Stability: A change for the better?

It seems increasingly likely we will see little change in 2017. That itself is something of a departure in a sport which has developed a worrying habit of making knee-jerk changes to its rules.

Despite the Strategy Group’s pronouncements it now seems very little of their planned 2017 changes will come to pass. That may well turn out to be not to be such a bad thing after all.

 

 

Ovi nisu u stanju da se dogovore ni sta ce da naruce za rucak a ne oko neceg vaznijeg.
